"I will divorce you, Selaia Tran."
... more>>
Having been abandoned by her husband, Hendrick — who seized the throne through rebellion — Selaia leaves the capital with the child born to his late mistress.
However, her former husband’s daughter, Esperote, possesses a strange gift.
“What were you doing, Rote?”
“Eating the sandwich Vera made for me and reading a book.”
“Oh? What book?”
“The Age of Revolution: The Livius War and Its Aftermath.”
Rote sometimes seems precocious beyond her years. At others, she behaves in inexplicable ways — almost as if she knows a future hidden from the rest of the world.
Nevertheless, Selaia treasures her daughter above all else and raises her with unwavering love. Until the day the child brings home an injured stranger.
"With a face like his, it’s hard to believe he could ever do anything bad."
The man, who introduces himself as Laska, claims to be a former mercenary. Strikingly handsome and disarmingly kind — almost suspiciously so — he soon disrupts Selaia’s quiet life.
"Then tell me, my lady — am I also counted among your fortunes?"
"By the eternal star Ceylon, I swear to protect you and the young lady with all that I am."
“My lady, forgive me—a feather has caught on your cheek.”
Slowly, amidst unfamiliar tension, they begin to open their hearts to one another.
Until one day—
[The Prince of Teian Returns!]
Selaia sees the enemy nation’s prince's portrait by chance and realizes with a chill just how much he resembles the man standing before her.
